Boy George Handbag, leatherette with printed images. Great Britain. Early 1980s
Popular culture has always converged with photography in interesting ways and increasingly so in recent years, with growing consumer demand for trendy goods. Boy George, who was the lead singer of the British band The Culture Club, maintained a gender-bending appearance on stage and in real life. He also has had a second career as a designer and is depicted on this bag, along with pictures of his band mates and fans.
